Tiger Baseball Rolls by Wilberforce for HBCUAC Series Sweep

CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Stillman College baseball team used early pressure and timely power to roll past the University of Wilberforce Bulldogs, 15-1, on the way to completing the HBCU Athletic Conference sweep on Sunday.

The Tigers improved to 16-12 overall and 10-3 in HBCUAC play.

Stillman set the tone immediately with aggressive baserunning in the opening frame. Kane Shellhouse came around to score on a throwing error after Davion Wilkins swiped second, and Wilkins later crossed the plate on a Wilberforce outfield error to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.

The Tigers added on in the third behind timely extra-base hits. Kameran Belser scored on Shellhouse's RBI double, and Shellhouse later came home on a wild pitch. Moments later, John Roland delivered the biggest swing of the inning with a two-run home run to left, scoring Robert Gage and extending the lead to 6-0.

Wilberforce's lone run came on a solo home run in the sixth, but Stillman quickly regained control late.

The Tigers created separation in the eighth as Gavin Rehorn scored on Shellhouse's RBI single before Gage delivered a two-run double to plate Wilkins and Shellhouse, stretching the lead to 9-1.

Stillman broke the game open in the ninth with a six-run outburst fueled by patience and power. Daniel Salter scored on a wild pitch, and Shellhouse followed with a two-run single to bring home Belser and Rehorn. Gage capped the inning with a three-run home run to right field, scoring Wilkins and Shellhouse to push the final margin to 15-1.

Munger was dominant on the mound, tossing a complete game while allowing just one run on seven hits. He struck out eight and worked around four walks to keep Wilberforce from building any sustained offense.

Stillman's offense was led by Gage (four hits, five RBIs) and Shellhouse (four hits, four RBIs, four runs), while Roland added a home run and two RBIs. The Tigers also applied steady pressure on the bases, highlighted by a stolen base from Wilkins and multiple runs created off errors, wild pitches, and disciplined at-bats.
